In the dawn
of the independence there was no institution of the higher
learning in the coal belt of Jharia-Dhanbad. The Students of
this educationally backward area were in dire need of a college
in those days. This was timely recognized by Raja Kali Prasad
Singh then the Raja of Jharia. He constituted a trust for
establishing the college in1949 and started Raja Shiv Prasad
College in the memory of his father. In 1951 the college secured
temporary affiliation with Patna University. Bihar University
granted permanent affiliation to the college in 1952. With the
establishment of Ranchi University in 1960 and Vinoba Bhave
University (VBU) in 1992, the College subsequently formed the
part of these Universities. The College was registered under
Section 2(f) of UGC Act on 31-10-87. The College is the oldest
one in Dhanbad and bordering districts and the second oldest
constituent unit of VBU,Hazaribag. It became the First NAAC
Accredited constituent unit of the University in 2006.
Education
needs a breath of philosophy so that it may get a sense of the
whole .The philosophical credo of the College family is :We at
R.S.P college, Jharia believe in the footsteps of Dr.
Saravapalli Radhakrishanan that knowledge is not something to be
packed in some corners of our brain, but what enters into our
being , colours our motions, haunts our soul, and is as close to
us as life itself. |
